Dragon's Prophet Update Adds Mounted Combat

Dragonís Prophet is finally ready to turn the badass meter all the way up to 11 with the launch of the Evolution-Phase One expansion, A Trinity of Dragons. Along with all of the usual new bits and baubles expected out of an MMO update, this one finally introduces mounted combat to the adventure, letting players wage war while sitting astride their trusty winged beasts.

You know the movie How to Train Your Dragon, where that Viking kid decides to stop warring with dragons and learns that they can all live in harmony? Well, Dragonís Prophet is a lot like that, only way more violent and not all of the dragons want to become your new BFF. An MMORPG, Dragonís Prophet letís players explore a vast and beautiful 3D world overflowing with dragons and all sorts of other nasty creatures. Dragons have always been a reliable source of transportation but, with the Trinity of Dragons expansion, players can now take their trusty steeds into battle, too.

ďA trio of healing, tanking and damage skills are now available for dragons, which allows for a more dynamic combat experience and creates entertaining fights for players to enjoy,Ē reads the official expansion announcement. ďWhether a player wants to specialize in a single area or be more versatile, itís entirely up to them.Ē

Along with these new mounted combat options, the Trinity of Dragons expansion also boasts a brand new high-level dungeon called the Shrine of Handras, full of new quests, monsters and obstacles to overcome.

According to Director of Brand Management Marco Neubert, fans of Dragonís Prophet should be pretty excited for what this new update has to offer.

ďThe new features give the game more depth, let the players develop an even stronger relationship with their dragons, and results in a more dynamic flow of combat,Ē Neubert said.

Honestly, Iím not sure he even needed to say any of that. Just tell the players they get to ride dragons into battle and Iím pretty sure the excitement will build naturally.

As for that new dungeon, the Trinity press release fleshes out a few more details for playersí brand new stomping ground.

ďExplorers will find the entrance to the fully submerged instance in the southeastern region of Olandra,Ē reads the statement. ďInside the shrine, brave adventurers will find a number of belligerent water monsters, dangerous whirlpools and five fearsome bosses. Only those who have paved the way through the algae forest, past sunken ships and giant clams, will face the final battle with the dragon Handras.
